We take our regular look back at the Premier League line-ups from the weekend just gone, analysing the systems and personnel used by the 20 top-flight clubs and seeing what lessons could be learned ahead of Gameweek 7.

As was the case last week, we are harnessing the use of the average position maps in our Members’ Area and highlighting some of the key stats from each game.

The figures in brackets given after each player name in the article below correspond to the numbered shirts in the position maps.

    A) Firmino, Aurier Otamedi

    B) Aubameyang, Soyuncu, Tomori

    best option?

    1. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 7 Years

      A

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 15 Years

      A and it isnt close

    3. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      B, by a landslide.

    4. Camzy

        It's more about fund allocation. Soyuncu and Tomori are terrific value. And Aubameyang has great fixtures. If he doesn't work, you can at least swap to a stronger attacker or move the funds to midfield.

    Greenwood starting against a terrible arsenal defence

      Probability of zero %

      You forgot the part about the terrible United team

      1. FPL Forward Thinker

        It would be a mental and irrelevant post if it said.....

        ‘Greenwood (who has bad teammates in defence) starting against a terrible arsenal defence?

        1. tafrère
          • 10 Years

          United team isn't bad just in defence lmao.

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            2-0 lost to West Ham doesn't really scream great offence.

    3. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Are Bellerin and Tierney near a start?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        AMN and Kolasinac will start

        1. GreennRed
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Cheers. Are Bellerin and Tierney likely to get in when they're fit. Tierney untried at thi sd level but Bellerin defending not impressive.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            Tierney I am sure emery wants in as soon as. Gave him the start in mid week soon after completing over an hour in an U23s game. Building up his fitness. Bellerin’s injury was a mad one. Emery doing the right thing and taking it slow with him and he can afford to do that as AMN is performing really well (apart from vs Villa in fairness). Chambers is impressing as his back up too. Bellerin will be first choice again eventually but it will take a long time I think maybe even a month. Tierney I predict will be there in a couple of weeks

      If Rashford, Martial, Olé and Cantona are not fit then he’s a chance of starting.

      1. Regin
        • 9 Years

        And rooney

  3. Karhumies
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Why is there no discussion about B.Silva, D.Silva and Mahrez? It seems to me like one way to combat Pep roulette is to go quantity over high price tag, e.g. with triple MCity mids of KDB + both Silvas so at least some of them play every week.

    Sterling + Dendoncker
    16.5M
    48points
    = 0.34M per point

    D.Silva + B.Silva
    15.3M
    69points
    = 0.22M per point

    Aguero + Cantwell
    17.2M
    79points
    = 0.21M per point

    That comparison makes the Silvas look pretty darn good. Not sure if Son and Pepe as hyped as they are will be able to match that or even come close to it.

    7-8M mids: Martial injured, Maddison possibly injured, Sigurdsson and Richarlison not delivering, Zaha not delivering, Fraser not delivering...Silvas blasting full steam but nobody talks about them...purely out of Pep roulette fear?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      You make a decent point about the price point. Many would prefer having Ota, KDB, Sterling/Aguero though. I have Dilva over Sterling/Aguero currently so I could get Auba and exploit the gap in 7-8m mids and it’s worked well so far. Pep roulette has all the mentioned options safe this weekend except Bilva who played 90 the other day. One or even 2 of the 3 will always miss out is the issue. Just have to have the right ones at the right times. I am selling Dilva next week if not the one after

      1. Karhumies
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I guess the other counterpoint is many people preferring a weak, non-playing bench rather than e.g. 3x 4.5 defenders and mids. Well, saving money on the Silvas allows a much stronger bench for sure.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      You could be right, just can't bring myself to sell Aguero and consider it while he keeps starting

      1. Karhumies
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        There's a lot of RMTs with Ota/Zinch, KDB, Sterling/Kun asking if it's OK to drop Sterling/Kun for Auba/Son. My current opinion is that Auba/Son is OK to bring in, but dropping third MCity player to go down to 2 pool + 2 MCity is not OK, and you should either get third Pool (Mane/Firmino) or third City (Silva/Silva/Mahrez) while you're getting Auba/Son.

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I selected Zinchenko, Bilva and KDB for my season starter treble up. Happy with that

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I settled on KDB and D.Silva for this reason, pretty unlikely they will both miss out in the same week - adding Bernardo probably isn't a terrible idea. I guess in my current team it's Haller vs Bernardo … I'm just hoping Haller sorts it out

      1. Kellz86
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I'm also staying with Haller

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I did this last season with Sterling, Sane and Mahrez, around late November, and only stuck with it until early January. Issues are:

      A - None are captaincy options
      B - Takes up 3 midfield spots
      C - To lead on from C, you have to be patient with this tactic, so if new midfield options emerge, you might miss out on successful bandwagons.

      1. Karhumies
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        There's a lot of RMTs with Ota/Zinch, KDB, Sterling/Kun asking if it's OK to drop Sterling/Kun for Auba/Son. My current opinion is that Auba/Son is OK to bring in, but dropping third MCity player to go down to 2 pool + 2 MCity is not OK, and you should either get third Pool (Mane/Firmino) or third City (Silva/Silva/Mahrez) while you're getting Auba/Son.

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I would anticipate that many have Aguero OR Sterling as captain options, plus KdB and Otamendi. In that case you’re dropping a captain option to get one of the Silva’s.

      Could work if you captain a Liverpool attacker when City are away and KdB when they’re at home.

      1. Karhumies
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        If you are comfortable cptaining KDB, Salah/Mane, non city non pool great form forward (Auba, Abraham, Pukki), I don't see any issues with this.

    7. tafrère
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      You need one of Aguero/Sterling for captaincy, KDB is essential, and a 5.5m nailed City defender will get more points throughout the season than the Silvas and Mahrez.

      You're overthinking. Some casuals with Bernardo + Dilva had an amazing GW6. But they won't have an amazing season. Period.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        'You need one of Aguero/Sterling for captaincy' well you don't

        1. tafrère
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Of course a star striker in the best team in the world isn't a prime captaincy option.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            5 big chances missed last two games. Out of touch, not what i’d Expect from a 12m striker

            1. tafrère
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 14 days ago

              Oh okay we're not talking seriously, now I understand.

              1. Ask Yourself
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 14 days ago

                😉 but seriously there are other good captaincy options this week. I have neither sterling or Aguero for the last couple of weeks and have rocketed up the rankings

                1. tafrère
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 14 days ago

                  Aguero, Sterling, Salah and Mané are the most reliable captaincy options, and so you can chose the better fixture, I guess you need 2 of them. I know it hasn't worked well yet this year, but I think it'll settle up. But I don't mind people going for the Silvas or Mahrez instead, they'll all miss the big hauls and understand there's a reason we're paying 12m for some players. 😉

                  1. SADIO SANÉ
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 14 days ago

                    is KDB a reliable captaincy option?

                    1. Ask Yourself
                      • 10 Years
                      7 years, 14 days ago

                      He has proved himself yes. Returning in every start and some ridiculous hauls. Him vs salah/Sterling for me GW8 will be a tough one that week to get right

                  2. Ask Yourself
                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 14 days ago

                    Dilva hauled me more than Aguero and sterling combined last week :O I am thinking of getting Sterling in with immediate effect in fairness but Sometimes maybe you’re paying 12m for no reason :O

                  3. Karhumies
                    • 14 Years

      Nice post +1

      I don't think anyone knows including the City players who Pep will start as he likes to keep them on their toes.My own guess is that he will name an unchanged stating 11 for the next game but i could be wrong of course.

      It would be great to know if Mahrez,D Silva and or B Silva were in for a run of games as it would be a no brainer to get em in but we all know that Pep roulette is a major headache for an fpl manager and could make you or break you.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        The key is watching who he rests and subs off early/manages minutes of. As a result it means a line up of this for this weekend:

        Ederson
        Walker Fernandinho Otamendi Who Knows
        KDB Rodri Dilva
        Mahrez Aguero Sterling

        One of the easiest predictions of the season so far

          Noting easy about trying to see into Pep's mind.

          Watching how he manages players minutes is a good clue indeed and i will give you a cookie if you are right about the starting 11. 😉

    Poor Southampton have two trips to The Etihad in 4-5 days 29/30 Oct & Sat 2 Nov.

    1. GreennRed

      They might make it one trip.

  5. Dcentrale

    Is it worth taking a -4 hit to go from this:

    A) Pope (Button)
    AWB*, Aurier, Soyuncu (Lundstram, Rico)
    KDB, Sterling*, Mane, Mount (Cantwell*)
    Aguero, Abraham, Pukki

    To this:

    B) Pope (Button)
    TAA*, Aurier, Soyuncu (Lundstram, Rico)
    KDB, Son*, Mane, Mount (Hayden*)
    Aguero, Abraham, Pukki

    1. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      No.

  6. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Bench
    Rico (assist chances + clean sheet)
    or
    Guilbert (better clean sheet chance)

    One time I asked more answers were bench Rico, then next it was Guilbert

    I guess whatever I choose its a 50/50

    Still if anybody wants to help... 🙂

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      2/3 home cs so far for Villa so would probably pick Guilbert
      (don't know anything about him though, like whether he starts)

      Not for free.

        1. GreennRed
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Yes. You've two forwards in decent form and dropping 4 points to go sideways. Pukki is Norwich's scoring threat and no European games. Will be interesting though to see if either keep th e is scoring goals rate thought until Christmas.

      Why? Has Pukki not done enough?

      1. Felix Navidad
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        He has, just scared not owning any Chelsea players

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          I think Tammy will do the business but so will Pukki. Is there no other way to get him in?

  15. 03farmboy

    Which ones are better?

    Pope or Fabianski

    De Bruyne or Son

    1. Felix Navidad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Pope and KDB

    2. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Fabianski De Bruyne.

    3. Wheyyyy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Pope & KDB

    4. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I’m on Pope (All season) Son next 3 then move back if need to —-> KDB

    5. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Fabianski, KDB

      1. Superkitten
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I've just switched Pope to Fabs on WCard. Three clean sheets last three matches and he racks up the bonus points.

    Wow that West ham result is crazy and with a lot of first team on by end. No shots for haller by the look of it? Time to suck up my mistake of preferring him over pukki on wildcard, kinda wanted to wait incase I wanted a reshuffle to 343 or 451 but doesn't feel like they're doing anything right attacking wise atm!

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      We are doing it right it’s just the new system when Haller has to create. Lack of direct runners in the team means Haller is the key link up man. He does his job well it just sends responsibility over to our wingers to do the scoring now. Anderson the best pick but still not a great one, we are a very unpredictable team.

      1. Markus
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        So potentially not the best option after all - seemed to be playing more advanced vs Norwich etc now retreating back. Pukki is the opposite, miles ahead of everyone else - so feel like it's an inevitability even if the haller pick felt more hipster!

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          It was very liberating to sell just now myself for Abraham. Pukki is a must but if there was a time to go without you got lucky. May the goat continue to be fed x

    2. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      There was a Hammers fan going ballistic on Talksport. Was great radio. Said midfield was very poor. Did Haller miss a load of sitters?

      1. Markus
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Don't think he had any shots looking at the text commentary but was limited

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        The answer when we play badly in cup games is usually Carlos Sanchez. Same thing happened here. When you sell >10 good squad players and replace them with 3 first team players then you get yourself into a pickle for depth. That’s exactly what we did. Great first team, terrible squad depth

    3. Regin
      • 9 Years

      Already did Haller to Abraham on Monday

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Yer, my acca buster tonight.
      I think Noble is very important to that team and a very understated player. He does so many things so well, especially breaking up the opposing teams attack. Busy little bulldog and a great Sheriff, should be getting more plaudits like Kante.
      Big miss when he's absent.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        And I'd add Flappy to that as well.
        I'm still rose tinted on them defensively.

  17. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years

    Yes or No (-4)?

    Digne & Haller to Ota & Abraham

    Worth doing Haller to Tammy?

    Ederson
    TAA Lowton Soyuncu
    Salah Sterling KDB McGinn Cantwell
    Pukki Haller

    McGovern Greenwood Digne Lundstram

    1FT £0.0m

      probably

  19. AFBS_1991

    Pope (Button)
    TAA OTA Soyu (Lunds) (Digne)
    Salah Sterling KDB McGinn (Dendonker)
    Pukki Vardy Greenwood

    2 FT 0,2 ITB

    How to improve this team with FT? Help please!!

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Greenwood on the bench would be a start.

      1. AFBS_1991
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I hope he starts..

    2. evilfish
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Digne > Rico
      Dendonker > Mount ?

      1. AFBS_1991
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Rico is nailed?

        1. evilfish
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          I think so for the next game at least but even so he is better 1st choice on bench than Lunds or Digne. It is more of a cash enabler at his price he can be 3rd sub.

          1. evilfish
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            If you have the extra 0.4 Tomori instead of Rico

  20. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Virgil down to Soyuncu to fund Lanzini upgrade? He’s number priority this week but nothing around the 6.5 mark to make it straight swap (already own amount).
    Would have been Maddison but looks to be out for the weekend
    Means no LIV def until gw10 wildcard...

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      * Mount

  21. jez_wright
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Best Newcastle defender (if such a thing exists) to rotate with Lundstram?

    Willems?

    1. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Lascelles. Inexplicably dropped to 4.4 after cleansheet.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Ritchie about to come back. I have Schär myself but I understand that is probably way more than anyone sensible would spend on Newcastle defence so look at Lascelles for some minor goal threat or Dummett for the BAPs

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      the cheapest playing one

  22. Bob B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Tomori or Soyuncu?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Soý

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Is Tomori nailed?

      1. Bob B
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I've been reading what Lampard has said and Chelsea fans on the forums, they all rate him very highly and think/want him and Rudiger to be the starting defensive partnership.

        Obviously still a question mark as to whether that is true, so probably makes Soyuncu a more sensible option. 4.5 Chelsea defender is appealing though

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah that's what it comes down to. If there's a time to risk a 4.5m chelsea def it's now, but need a reasonable backup if wrong.

      2. lespaul
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        No

  23. Tabbara
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    worth to bring Abraham for Haller (-4)?
    thx

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      You tell us chelsea fan!

      1. Tabbara
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        hahaha, leaning toward it tbh

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          I brought him in this wekk. He looks the business. I'm also a Villa fan and last year he crushed it.

    This is such a brilliant article now and is exactly why I pay for membership to get the insightful stuff, really well done team FFS.

      K

  25. Doctor Evil
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    What would you do to this team so I don’t have to start Cantwell every week? 0.1 itb

    Pope (button)

    Digne TAA Ota (Lundstram Rico)

    Son KDB Mane CANTWELL (Hayden)

    Abraham Aguero Pukki

    I’m thinking change Hayden to someone but who do I lose? And I want at least a mount-Martial option

    1. lespaul
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      You already don't have to start cantwell

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah but want someone better

        1. Doctor Evil
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          I mean I want to keep Cantwell but only as a sub.

          Was thinking Digne Hayden to 4.0 Mount

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Could downgrade Digne but that still doesn't leave enough £ for Mount unless willing to risk another 4m def
      It's a decent team really - Cantwell/Hayden is the price of having the rest

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Lol this is what I was thinking as you can see above. Yeah I guess you can’t have them all.

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Guess you have to weigh up Cantwell/Digne or other prem def vs. Mount/Lundstram
          Norwich have a pretty good fixture run now for a while (to xmas)

    3. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Why not start him every week? Not much point in having more than 4.5m for benched mid. It's money you could better spend in your 11.

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        I only paid 4.5m so I don’t mind him being on the bench. The dream would be to have martial when fit but think I would have to lose TAA for that and that’s not worth it.

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      just play him! he's a great enabler that allows you to have the rest of your team. The way he is playing I can see him easily outscoring anyone you could bring in.

  26. King H
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Who would you rather have long term ?

    A. Vvd and Abraham
    Or
    B. Robertson and Mount

    Already have Trent.

    1. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      A

  27. MiLK2018
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Bring in Abraham tonight to beat the price rise, or wait till Friday? thx

    1. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Yes

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Just do it - rest midweek, would be unlucky to pick up an injury between now and then

  28. jez_wright
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Kelly likely to start?

    Subs are...

    1) Lundstram (LIV H)
    2) Dunk (CHE A)
    3) Greenwood (ARS H)

    Worried Lund & Dunk will get negative scores this GW.

    Greenwood 1st sub?

  29. I Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Aguero likely to rise again before deadline?

    1. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Possible because of the Sterling sellers

  30. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    The template has cought me.. what next? Maybe some Chelski, Arse and Leic players...

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Yip

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Che, Spurs, Ars have decent upcoming fixtures.
